Some of the influential Indians in the
Indian Territory are urging their people
to accept the inevitable and go to work
like other people. The indications are
that this wise advice will be accepted, if
not by choice, by compulsion Why
should the Indians be fostered in idlcness
by our government, when there are thous-
ands of industrious citizens who would be
glad to receive very small number of
the favors extended to the lazy, shiftless

The chintz bugs, it seems, have their
tribulations and enemies as well as other
folks. Mr.. c. E. Birdsall says that he
finds i'm his corn fields black ant that is
very numerous and that is committing
great slaughter among the chintz bugs
eating up the eggs, destroying the young,
and then attacking and killing the old
ones. He thinks there are enough of
there ants to thin out the bugs so much
that they will not be able to do great
deal of damage. This will be good news
to the farmers, and if the black ants only
give their earnest and undivided attention
to the bugs, they can depend upon the
steadfast friendship of their human breth-

The grave question which now con-

do with the legion of school boys Just

schemes have been introduced, but the
one most in favor and the one easiest
adapted to practical application, seems
to be to tie sack of rocks to his feet and
sink him i'm the river until the reopening
of school in the fall. 1t is even stated that
this experiment has been tried with sue
cess in several instances, though one case
is reported where the result was fatal to
the boy owing to an unfortunate mistake
in marking the place of his immersion. =

for their protection against tobacco chew
ing, cigar smoking, billiard playing and
other species of evil indulging young
men, is getting to be quite the thing over
the country just now. Now my dear
girls all this solicitude for your welfare
is quite unnecessary be assured. These
cratic young fellows have no designs
against you at all. Your homeopathic,
confectionery nibbling young men
will have the field all to themselves.
Pardon us, but you are not the style of

A WONDERFUL CHILD.

tonishes its Relatives.
A queer story comes from Wolf
Creek, about fifty miles from this
p-aae.
About ten days ago child was
born to Mrs. Henry Green, col
ored woman living on Wolf Creek,
near Markleville.
After the child, which proved a
boy, was safely delivered, it was
rugged up in its swaddling clothes,
and handed to its mother. As it
came into the maternal arms it dis
tinctly calculated, "Hallo!" in a
tone of voice which caused the
mother to almost faint away, and
the relatives of the child were dumb
with establishment.
After they had recovered from
their establishment they concluded
it was a mistake, when the child
distinctly said:
81 want my dinner, hurry up"
The words came right from the
lips of the hour-old babe, and sew
eral of its relatives ran out and
brought in the neighbors TO see the
wonderful child.
Shortly the house was packed
with people who waited several
hours to hear the child speak again.
1t made no further sign, and sew
eral of the crowd departed, de-
nouncing the colored people as
humbugs.
Suddenly, however, the child re-
marked in perfectly clear tones:
"What's the matter here, any,
how ?"
This time there could no longer
be any doubt abent the speaking
child, and the utmost excitement
prevailed in the house.
The mother was nearly dead
from fright, and the doctor was APP
parently at his wits end. Thus
matters went along for several days,
the child talking every few hours,
when last Friday it said:
e'Grover Cleveland will be the
next President"
This remark caused great con-
sternation in the family, as they
were all strict Republicans.
Since the above was in type a
new version OF the wonderful event

AN "AppEA1%ExrosE
II Reaches Far and Hits |
Hard.


About ten days ago David Harris,
q young colored man in this city,
came to the APPEAL Office and de-
sired to acquaint the public with an
account of the way he had been
robbed while serving on a whaler.
He described the way the ship own
ers compelled seamen to work for
almost nothing and then robbed
them out of their share of the catch
by fictitious market quotations.
The article attracted the atten-
ton of the San Francisco Examiner,
which is ever ready to take up the
wrongs of any class of workers, and
that enterprising paper made fur
ther investigation of the wrongs of
the sailors as recited IN the APPEAL.
The result is that perfect bonanza
of fraud has been uncovered, and
the sailors having their eyes opened
are beginning to strike for their
legal rights. Quite a number of
these swindling vessels have been
attached, and the law suits are
pouring in on them thick and fast.
The press came to the rescue of the
young sailor boy in style he little
expected, and the outcome of the
APPEAL publication will result in
series OF htigations which will prob
ably cost the swindling ship masters
at least $100,0 900. 1t would have
been much cheaper to have settled
with the boy on an honest basis.
Young Harris further alleges that
men are killed at sea, and then the
rest of the ships crew are paid from
$50 to $50 each to say..nothing about
it when the ship lands.
When a sailor sues for his rights
he generally falls into the hands of
some shyster lawyer who is bought
off by the defendants, and the case
is thrown out of Court for lack of
I'evidence, the purchased lawyer
taking good care that the necessary
''lack of evidence" will be forth
coming.
The Examiner has good years
work before it proving the rotten
ness and fraud of the city front, as
we'll as the high crimes on the sea
which have been covered up.
When a sailor knows anything
against ship he is bribed to keep
quiet by being given a chance to
sssteer boat" After rowing boats
for years and. almost wearing out
his shoulders he will do almost any.

the work is actual rest when COM

Campbell, convicted of rape on a

Rising.
Messrs. Edwards and Bartine his
attorneys presented authorities in
support of their motion for a new
trial, and some time was taken up
in the argument.
The motion was overruled and
the Court ordered the defendant to
stand up. The Judge in passing
sentence drew the mans attention
to the brutal atrocity of his CRIME
in having debauched a child of such
tender years, and sentenced him to
ten years in the penitentlary. The
prisoner at the conclusion of the
Judges remarks was visibly affect
